ALangara grad is debuting in her first Eastside Culture Crawl, and bringing a collection of work where she combines her art with stories from local authors.

Bronwyn McIvor is a Langara fine arts graduate from 2007, and she has created a unique collection of work called The Townsfolk She has been sharing her art with her friends who are writers. She asked them whether they wanted to write stories about the creatures she was creating through her art.

“Bronwyn's characters have a lot of personality, but the most intriguing part to me was the contrast between what you might expect these characters to sound like, [the] voices and the world that they actually inhabit,” said Bill Radford, one of the authors of The Townsfolk.
